scopes

[northspear]

just read in Outdoor News and there talking about makeing it legal to use scopes. allowing hunters to use a 4X magnification. And im just getting into ML so i hope it goes through wont have to mess around with those open sights. i was a little worried about shooting open sights.

Open sights are easy to use and very reliable/don't fog up at 20 below. Also if you ever think of muzzy hunting out west, most states out there don't allow scopes, and probably never will. Just practice mounting and lining up the sights. Its all part of the muzzy game, a little more difficult but also more satisfying. The kill is more dependent on your skills than technology.

Yes, just get high mount scope rings so you can peep under your scope to see your irons, that is the way my .22lr is set up so I can hit those darn animals when they are very close to me.

you would need high mount rings anyways if you leave your irons on because of how tall they are.

leave it as open sights only please

I have a really good quality set of quick disconnect rings/bases made by Talley Manufacturing so I can shoot with the scope on during the gun season and then take it off for the muzzy season.

I personally feel the muzzy season should stay no scope for what little its worth...
